Pharmacognostic evaluation and HPTLC fingerprinting of Pirantai Vatakam, a Siddha formulation
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study is an attempt to evaluate the pharmacognostic parameters and HPTLC fingerprint profiles for a Siddha compound formulation, Pirantai vatakam in which Cissus quadrangularis is the main ingredient. Powder microscopy studies were carried out and different microscopic characters were distinguished. Physico-chemical parameters such as loss on drying at 105⁰C, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble extractive, alcohol soluble extractive AND volatile oil were determined. High performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) study of Pirantai vatakam was performed and the chromatograms were documented. The observations laid down a platform for the standardization of Pirantai vatakam and will help us to determine the genuineness of the drug from the adulterants and substitutes.
